Things to remember about the COLLEGE pathway:
To apply to college you will require certain pre-requisite courses which will include ENG4C
Please see www.ontariocolleges.ca to research programs and admission requirements.
Colleges offer a range of program options – Certificates (short programs), Diplomas (2 or 3 years) and Degrees (4 years), so it is very important to research the detailed requirements for the program you’re interested in.
You may also have to complete tests, essays or interviews or submit portfolios of work. Take the time to contact the colleges to find out what you need
One of the tests that may be required is the CASPER test – here is a link to learn more about the test and how to prepare for it
